Description

The Department of Geography & Environmental Studies in the Faculty of Arts at Toronto Metropolitan University invites applications for a tenure track position at the rank of Assistant Professor effective July 1, 2023, subject to final budgetary approval. Located in downtown Toronto, the largest and most culturally diverse city in Canada, Toronto Metropolitan University, is on the territory of the Anishinaabeg, Haudenosaunee and the Wendat Peoples.
We are seeking applications from candidates who specialize in environment-focused Geospatial Data Science, Geographic Information Science (GIScience), Geocomputation, and/or Remote Sensing. Potential areas of focus or application include, but are not limited to, socio-ecological systems, landscape change, climate science, hydrology, soil science, environmental health, and equity/justice. Advanced use of spatial modeling, AI and neural networks, machine learning, geospatial statistics, and/or capturing and processing of UAV data is of particular interest.

The successful candidate will be expected to engage in teaching, research and service duties; collaborate with internal and external research partners/stakeholders; teach and supervise highly qualified personnel within the Environmental Applied Science and Management graduate program and Department of Geography & Environmental Studies programs (undergraduate: Geographic Analysis and Environment and Urban Sustainability; graduate: Spatial Analysis); and take an active role in bringing innovation and creativity to the development of our undergraduate and graduate programs.
Candidates must have a PhD in Geography, Environmental Studies or Sciences, Earth Sciences, or a closely-related field. Exceptionally qualified candidates who are all-but-dissertation (ABD) and are very close to completion of their PhD in the required areas may also be considered. In addition, candidates must present evidence of:

a strong research and/or knowledge mobilization and translation profile with evidence of an emerging scholarly record and the potential to establish and maintain an independent, externally-funded research program;
the capacity for effective teaching and student training;
the capacity for developing and maintaining partnerships with academic and stakeholder groups;
a strong commitment to our values of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion as it pertains to service, teaching, and scholarly research or creative activities, including a demonstrated ability to make learning accessible and inclusive for a diverse student population; and
an ability and willingness to contribute to the life of the Department, Faculty and the University through collegial service.

As part of our commitment to act on the recommendations of Toronto Metropolitan University’s Anti-Black Racism Campus Climate Review, and continuing Toronto Metropolitan University’s commitment to Truth and Reconciliation we encourage applications from qualified individuals who self-identify as Black peoples of African descent (Africans and African-heritage people from Latin America and the Caribbean, the Americas, Europe, etc.) and those who self-identify as North American Indigenous peoples.
